Karandi Omelette | Fluffy Egg Omelette – Kotians Passion
Karandi Omelette | Fluffy Egg Omelette with a detailed photo and video recipe. Karandi omelette is a special yummy, cup-shaped fluffy egg omelette cooked in a ladle shaped tadka pan, Which is commonly used in preparing tadka tempering in Indian cooking. This pan is known by the name ‘karandi’ in Tamil. Hence the name of this omelette “karandi omelette”.
This is a dish that I stumbled upon by accident. A few years ago I was on a road trip to Kodaikanal, one of the state most favourite hill stations in Tamil Nadu. Karandi omelette is a very popular Street food in Tamil Nadu. An omelette might be a breakfast special but in Tamilnadu just like many other parts of India, it’s also a meal accompaniment. The karandi omelette works really well with biriyani or even rice and rasam. It is also a perfect tea time or coffee time snack for winter or when you had some comfort on a rainy day.
